The Stories of You & I

Chapter 1: Never letting go

Ally was scribbling in her book, bored. It was about nine-thirty at night and Sonic Boom was getting ready to close so in other word no one was there. The chime jingled and Ally jerked her head up only to see her partner, Austin. Ally raised a slender arched eyebrow in silent question, but said nothing.

Austin sat on the piano bench and started playing with some of the keys. Ally opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out so she snapped it closed it shut, and checked her watch. Hmm ten o' clock on the dot we don't close until thirty minutes but no one is coming so... Ally thought while shaking her head and flipping the 'We're open sign' to the 'Sorry we're closed' side and went back to the counter.

Austin still sat on the piano bench saying nothing. "Austin you are certainly quite today, is there something wrong?" Ally asked while moving to the piano bench as well.

Austin looked up and shook his head. "Nah, I was just bored and decided to pay a little visit to my girlfriend." He said while pecking her on the lips lovingly. "Uh…sure. Are you sure there's nothing wrong? You know you can talk to me, right Austin?" Ally asked while staring him in the eyes.

"Ally seriously nothing is wrong I'm fine just wanted to see you, honestly." He said with a serious expression. "Okay well can you tell me what are doing here so late?" She asked.

"Ally its ten o' clock, how is that late?" He asked with a laugh.

"Hey it's a school night, I have to get up early." The brunette defended. Suddenly the door chimed again and both of them turned their heads to see a familiar red head.

"Dez? What are you doing here?" Austin asked his best friend. "Eating a chicken leg." He said with a shrug. "There's no eating in the store. How did you even get in here I locked up." Ally said.

"I have keys." Dez said with a big smile. "How did you get keys?" Ally asked. "Trish gave them to me, duh!" He said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"How-you know what I really don't want to know." Ally said while shaking her head with a smile playing on her lips. "You really don't!" Dez said enthusiastically while taking another bite of the chicken. "Alright guys I'm going to go upstairs and take a shower. Do. Not. Come. Upstairs." Ally said with a stern look and both boys nodded.

"Hey Austin?" Dez called. "What's up, Dez?" Austin replied while hopping on the counter. "So I like this girl but how do I say I like her?" He asked while taking another bite of the chicken. "Well it depends, all girls are different. So who do you like?" Austin asked with a sly smile.

"Uh...you don't know her." He replied quickly and started nibbling on his chicken leg nervously. "Aw c'mon tell me who you like, I would tell you who I liked, ya know if I was single again." Austin exclaimed. "I'm telling you Austin you don't know her." Dez said. "Okay well describe her to me." Austin said.

Dez gulped and looked at his friend. "D-describe her?" He asked. The blonde smiled goofily and nodded slowly.

Then Ally came down in her pajamas with her hair dripping wet. "Nice pajamas." Austin said causing the girl to blush. Dez nodded his head in agreement. "So c'mon Dez tell me who she is!" Austin whined.

"Who she is? What are you guys talking about?" Ally asked while combing her hair with her fingers. "Dez likes someone and he won't tell me who she is." Austin said pouting. "Ally make him tell me!" Austin whined.

"Austin if Dez doesn't want to tell us then you should accept his decision and move on." She stated. "Thank you Ally." Dez said with a smile.

"Fine take his side then Ally, some girlfriend you are." Austin said pouting. "Austin stop pouting." Ally ordered. "No I don't wanna." He said. Ally simply smiled and shook her head.

The pair did not even notice the saddened look on the red heads face. "Well I'm going to go home now, bye guys." Dez said silently. "Hey Dez." Ally called. Dez faced her when she called.

"Describe her to me, please?" Ally asked. Dez smiled a warm smile. "Well she has brown wavy hair and to brown eyes that anyone can get lost in. Her heart is made of gold and she would do anything for her friends and I love her..." Dez said with sad smile.

Ally's eyes widened and her mouth was slightly agape. I never heard Dez talk like this. He sounds so…sincere,She thought. "She sounds like the perfect girl to me, why don't you ask her out if you love her." Austin said while putting his chin on top of Ally's head. That girl sounds familiar. Austin thought. "Austin not everyone is has a huge ego like you, some people are afraid of rejection." Ally explained. "Well if Dez likes her, he should fight for. I know it's what I would do." Austin stated with a smile as he grasped Ally's smaller hand.

Dez sighed and looked at the pair. "It would never happen, she's has a boyfriend." He said with a sad smile. "Oh, I'm so sorry Dez." Ally said while walking up to him and hugging him.

Both males were shocked at the show of affection. Dez looked down at the petite brunette and hugged her back tightly. "That's tough buddy." Austin added while nodding sympathetically.

Ally started crying silently. "Ally, why are you crying?" He asked with a laugh. "It's just so sad, it's like a bad love story that I read that you guys make fun of when I read it." She said with a sniffle. Dez pulled away and placed his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.

"Listen Ally, it's okay because she's happy with this guy she's with, they're...in love and yes it kills me to watch them both happy but if she's happy, I'm happy so in the end I'm okay even if I am not with her." He explained. Ally started crying even more on his shoulder and hugged him again. In between her sobs you can hear. "That is the sweetest thing I ever heard."

"Dude really? Since when did you become so cliché? You need to stop saying stuff like that your making me look bad." Austin said with a laugh. "Sorry." The red head said with a small smile. "Alright Ally let Dez go your making him feel uncomfortable." Austin said with a chuckle but the said girl stayed there hugging him.

"Ally?" Dez whispered. The brunette looked up and Dez flinched inwardly. Her eyes were blood shot and it killed him to be the reason for her tears. "Ally stop being a hopeless romantic for like two seconds and let Dez go." Austin said. "It's okay Ally go, I'll be fine." Dez reassured.

Austin was looking at the pair in utter confusion. They kept whispering to each other and deep down he felt jealous of the close contact between his girlfriend and best friend. Everyone's acting so weird today. When is Dez sad? He must really have it bad for this girl. Austin thought while shaking his head.

Ever so slowly Ally backed away wiping her tears with her back hand, only to have more replace them. "Ally stop crying, Dez looks even more sad than he originally was." Austin said.

"No it's fine, I'll see you guys later bye." Dez cheerily and left.

Once Dez left Austin hugged Ally and tried to console her. "Austin?" She called. "Mhmm?" He mumbled in her hair. "Am I a bad person?" She asked lowly. "No like he said you have a heart made of gold." Austin said with a sad smile. Ally nodded not wanting to say anymore.

I am so sorry Dez, but I don't plan on letting go on Ally anytime soon. Austin thought while squeezing her tighter to his larger form.

A/N: Finished! It was sad to write but I just went with the flow. Now before any of you say anything yes, Dez was indeed Oc-ish but hey, there all not going to be like that I swear! Also, Ally strikes me as a hopeless romantic so I made her feel bad for Dez. So opinions? I would love to hear them write it down in a review! Sorry for any errors that I may have missed I don't have a Beta reader.
